APPROVING PREZONE NO. 92-003 (REVISED) AND AMENDMENT TO
THE LAFCO APPLICATION (MASTER CASE NO. 92-094) - SECO
CANYON ANNEXATION
RESOLUTION NO. 96-94
ORDINANCE NO. 96-23
Community Development
Annexation to the City is regulated by the Cortese -Knox Local Government Reorganization Act
of 1985 (revised 1994) and the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO). The LAFCO
requires that the City prezone the territory to be annexed prior to annexation.
Prezone No. 92-003(Revised) is a proposal to prezone a 1.23 acre area as a supplement to a
previously approved (January 23, 1996) prezone affecting a 425 acre area known as the Seco
Canyon annexation. The proposed prezone would change the site from its present designation
of Los Angeles County A-2-2 to Santa Clarita's RE (Residential Estate) zone, in conformance
with the City's General Plan to allow for annexation of the site to the City: The project site is
located on Copper Hill Drive west of Seco Canyon Road in Saugus. The proposed prezoning
designations are consistent with the City's General Plan and Unified Development Code (UDC).
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on June 18, 1996. Because the Planning
Commission and City Council hearing dates are only a week apart, the staff will update the
Council, orally, at the Council's June 25 meeting. Resolution P96-18 which recommends that
the City Council approve the project, and adopt the proposed ordinance approving Prezone No.
92-003 (Revised).
This revision to a previous prezoning is due to a minor amount of land, 1.23 acres, was recently
added to the Grace Baptist Church property (part of the Seco Canyon annexation site) through
a lot line adjustment. The newly added property contains an existing water tank, related
underground facilities, and an access road which are all operated by the Valencia Water Co. No
addition or change to these facilities are planned.

Agenda Item—aLs
In addition to approving the original prezoning on January 23, 1996, the Council also approved
the filing of the application for annexation to the Local Agency Formation Commission of Los
Angeles County (LAFCO). Accordingly, the LAFCO application will now require an amendment
to reflect the minor addition of land area proposed for annexation.
RECOMMENDATION
(1) Conduct a public hearing; (2) Adopt Resolution No. 96-94; (3) Introduce Ordinance No. 96-23,
approving Prezone No. 92-003 (revised), waive further reading, and pass to a second reading;
(4) Direct staff to file necessary amendments to the LAFCO application.
